L First the adoption fell through. When they called three days before, I thought it was to set the meeting time and place. Instead I was informed that the fosters had decided she needed a family ( Read more... )

Well things seem to keep happening before I think they will. I noticed from some posts on the facebook page for the rescue that it usually takes anywhere from several weeks to a couple of months from application to adoption. They even said it would be a couple of weeks from application to contact.

I was down with a migraine yesterday. I got a call ( Read more... )

Here is the latest of the Largess bags. This was supposed to be the prize for the Youth A&S display this past weekend at Summer Investiture. However, the A&S Minister Einarr was very ill and had to cancel at the last minute. It’s all good since the bag can still serve and I must admit, was not quite satisfied with the way it came out.

LJ seems to be having problems with the spell check and pictures. I'm going to do the best I can, and then go in and fix things after they fix the problems. It also means that I am going in and tweeking little things here and there like the pictures...

The seeds were sown last year when my interests lead me in the very unexpected direction of ( Read more... )

I keep meaning to do a full diary on the bags and keep trying to make an entry only to get hung up on wanting to provide full information. I guess I need to work up the full step by step in the Amazing Cloaks journal I started for the Hocktide stuff ( Read more... )
